Note: any reference to the city of Washington versus the county of Washington, both of which were used in the early days of the District of Columbia (D.C.) will be omitted on my memorials or any requests to alter them since the residence of the deceased and/or the actual place of death would also have to be known and before 1850 or so. The city was divided into several parts when drawn up and laid out in the 1790s but these distinctions were dropped long before 1850. There is a need for some memorials of an early date to have this but for most others it is not accurate any longer. All are just Washington, D.C.

Gravestone Photo PermissionI am happy to see that you photographed the gravestone of Miriam Alvord in Cedar Hill Cemetery (Memorial# 98679530).

I would like to add this gravestone photo to the (non-profit) Alford American Family Association's collection of District of Columbia Obituaries, where her obituary is (or will be) included. You can see the current collection at http://www.alfordassociation.org/OBITS/DCOBIT.htm.

May I have your permission to include your gravestone photos? If so, the photo caption will say:
